Benefits of technology
"The present invention provides a method and system for planning functional testing of a manufactured product. The method involves inducing a stimulus to the product, recording the response signal of the product, converting the response signal into a reference specification, and providing the stimulus and reference specification to a functional testing system for testing further instances of the product. The system includes an activation device, a measuring device, a signal converter, and an interface. The technical effect of the invention is to facilitate efficient and effective testing of manufactured products by providing a method for planning functional testing that is easy to use and can produce reliable results."
Problems solved by technology
This process usually consumes weeks and even months, depending on product complexity.
Developing an efficient functional testing facility is therefore expensive and time consuming and often slows the deployment of a new product to the market.
The prior art lacks the necessary means to standardize the field of functionality assurance procedures, and does not provide an information continuum between the R&D, testing and manufacturing teams of a given product.

Embodiment Construction
[0097] The preferred embodiments provide means for creating a platform of testing and test planning tools for the functional testing environment. The object of the present embodiments is to overcome the shortcomings of prior art referred to above. For example: to replace the need for writing a dedicated code for test programs and to provide the users with an application suite that contains the platform, the tools and the capabilities for creating, managing and executing functional testing programs. Preferably, these tools may also include debugging and troubleshooting capabilities that enable users to perform all levels of tests on the products. The preferred embodiments also provide detailed reports of test results and all necessary tests and program related documentation; the reports may easily be edited, maintained and shared. The present embodiments dramatically reduce the time required to establish test programs additionally provides means for the standardization of product fun...

A system and a method for the planning of functional testing of a manufactured product and for performing the planned functional tests for quality control and for troubleshooting, where the functional tests are based on information retrieved from tools for Computers Aided Design and simulation, and on information collected by testing of approved instances of the manufactured product, and converting this information into reference signals by using predefined algorithms provided by the system.
Description
FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to functionality testing of manufactured items and, more particularly, but not exclusively to an analyzing and locating faults in manufactured products. [0002] Every product has to be tested to verify that it complies with its functional specifications. The testing is performed on a functional testing platform that is developed by a test engineer for the specific product according to the product's specification received from the product's design team. This process usually consumes weeks and even months, depending on product complexity. The process requires communication between people from different departments, sometimes employed by different companies, and in the global economy, often residing in different countries. [0003] Testing specifications are unique and differ for each and every new product type. The testing platform consists of a specific configuration of hardware instrumentation, usually computer ...
